Condition - Bloating/Wind

By Nutri People

Food Allergy and Intolerance - food allergy is a constant reaction to a trigger food, either immediate or long-term, which can be life threatening (typical foods include nuts, seafood, etc). Symptoms are usually severe and include: itching, inflammation, swelling, rash, vomiting and anaphylactic shock. It is quite rare.

Food intolerance is a slower, long-term, non-life threatening reaction, which manifests from a few hours up to several days; this makes identification of the trigger food more difficult. Symptoms can include: bloating/wind, headache, migraine, fatigue, depression/anxiety, sinusitis, glue ear, puffy eyes, dark circles under the eyes, eczema, asthma, constipation, diarrhoea, joint pain, water retention, hyperactivity, mouth ulcers and IBS.
